Join us for a day out on the Farm, at Wherstead near Ipswich.

Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park is the vision of TV Presenter Jimmy Doherty and his wife Michaela and has taken years of dedication and hard work to achieve their dream. If you followed the TV documentary, you would’ve seen them turn a derelict farm into a thriving business.

It has Europe’s largest polar bear reserve called Lost Lands of the Tundra which is also home to Artic foxes and Artic wolves. There are over 100 different animal species and breeds and it includes a Butterfly House and Reptile House and a British Rare breed’s farm.

Arrive in time for coffee (own expense) and later lunch (own expense) in the 200-year-old Barn Restaurant & Coffee House. Free time to explore the Farm and Wildlife Park. For those of you who have time and like a little retail therapy, you will have the opportunity to visit the Farm Shop, Garden Centre, Clarkes of Walsham Country clothing and a sweets and toys shop all on site.
